Get ready for Malaysia's AI law

What we know: the Digital Minister says the Bill will be cross-sector, risk-based and focused on the potential harm of each AI system, with stricter safety controls, testing and human oversight for high-risk systems. He also described a wider framework of standards, regulations and law, with a new standards centre working with SIRIM.

Start now, it takes an afternoon:

1. List every AI use in your company: tool, purpose, data used, owner.
2. Mark anything that affects people's rights, safety, money or health as high attention.
3. For those, write down the human check and how you would explain a decision.
4. Align with the seven AIGE principles: fairness; reliability, safety and control; privacy and security; inclusiveness; transparency; accountability; human benefit.
